Magpies: learn to fly and food call. Contest entry for bird-themed fabric. I used black pencil and black and white oil paint for the magpies, black stamped brushwork for the barbed wire #600, and pencil for the grass (#9dc9ba) outlined with black, against a blue Australian sky (my chosen colour, #4ac0ff).

With acknowledgments to Gisela Kaplan's Australian Magpie (2004) with its wonderful pictures and information on this highly sociable, adaptive survivor. A one magpie version is 'Magpies: learn to fly' (http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/856111).
Printed nicely - see the 2nd thumbnail above (double click gives a clearer view).
